BTW this is not a scam an Aussie bought the boat here and a flaky skipper bailed on him.

I just came back from seeing the boat and the owner. To be blunt, I wouldn't take this boat anywhere, even out of the slip! Not with the attitude the Aussie owner has, think it's only going to take a few dollars to get her to Austrlia. Old JVC radar,probably the first Standard Horizon VHF ever made, no stove, just a toaster oven, no nothing that is newer. So sorry for getting anyones hope up on a nice delivery. Also no pay!!!
If I could figure it out I would have just deleted the post.
Sorry again

Re: Skipper wanted So Cal to Aus

sounds like an ideal oppertunity for the owner to get some "un-paid"experiance

Good idea.

Tell him that he may find free crew here.

He should also demand that the free crew pay for their own tranportation and food and kick in $25 a day for expenses plus fuel don't forget to have them pay for fuel...
